In Singapore, The Straits Times reported that a hydrogen-compatible natural gas power plant built by local electricity generator PacificLight Power on Jurong Island will begin operations in 2029. The company said the project, which will cost around $1 billion, will be the largest single and most efficient combined cycle gas turbine facility in Singapore, according to the report. The plant will have a capacity of at least 600MW, which is enough to power more than 864,000 four-room flats for a year. When it begins operations, it can burn at least 30% hydrogen – a cleaner fuel – with natural gas making up the rest, to generate electricity, the report added. In the future, the plant will be able to burn 100% hydrogen, the report added. Singapore plans to have at least nine hydrogen-ready power plants by 2030.
